Why all the focus on graphics?

I do not understand why there is so much emphasis on graphics with this game, I do not understand why everyone is so hopelessly dependent on spending not only 60-70 dollars for a game that probably wont run a "stock" home computer but going further to spend hundreds to beef up their existing computers which the have probably already paid a fortune into so that they can be able to run this crysis game. If you ask me this is robbery and mockery of the gaming community. Why is EA making this game so impossible to run on consoles and computers? Anyone ever think of that? Why are games like Halo 4 so much more reliable and playable and if you ask me look better than crysis but yet spend less than a quarter of the time focusing on graphics and more time molding the game into something that the community fan base wants? Why would anyone want a game that you are literally going to have to pay to play? Meaning making upgrades to your existing gaming setup. I have NEVER not ONCE had to upgrade my computer to play any Halo iteration, and Halo 4 as visually stunning as that games cinema is has NEVER not ONCE frozen on me. Crysis has the wrong idea, because gamers like myself who have loved this game since the very beginning are growing exceedingly weary of the constant updates/upgrades needed to play every game that has "Crysis" in it's name. I feel as if EA may need to take this back to the drawing board and rethink their main focus for a game with so much to it. Ruining a game like this because you want your claim to fame to be "our games graphics crashes consoles" is the wrong answer for any game developer.
